Atmastco initially focused on the trading of steel goods and industrial products before expanding into the engineering and erection business. Over the years, it has diversified its operations, taking on large-scale industrial and infrastructure projects.

Hindustan Zinc, a subsidiary of the Vedanta Group, is a key player in the Indian metals and mining sector.

This collaboration is expected to contribute to the growth of both companies, with Atmastco leveraging its engineering expertise and Hindustan Zinc strengthening its industrial infrastructure. The project underscores the growing investments in India’s metals sector, reflecting the industry’s focus on modernization and capacity expansion.
